Dozens of students missing in Mexico after police fire on protest

Masked demonstrators on Tuesday marched through the streets of Chilpancingo, capital of Mexico’s Guerrero state, as they hijacked vehicles and smashed congressional building windows — a violent reaction to a recent bout of police-led violence that has left six people dead and 43 students missing.

The students, from Ayotzinapa’s Normal School, which trains future teachers, had protested on Friday over increasing university fees and imposed government educational reforms.
